Tibeto-Burman languages of Nepal: Manange
and Sherpa
Carol Genetti (editor)
The country of Nepal is home
to over one hundred distinct languages from four language
families. The current volume provides grammars, glossaries
and texts for two of these languages: Kristine A. Hildebrandt's
grammar and glossary of Manange, of the Tamangic branch of
the Tibeto-Burman language family, and Barbara Kelly's grammar
and glossary of Sherpa, of the Tibetan (Bodish) branch. Each
grammar provides a full description of the phonology, morphology
and syntax of the language, covering both the structural and
functional properties of each. The glossaries contain lists
of basic vocabulary, alternate forms, and comparisons with
forms given in previous literature. The short texts provide
insights into how speakers weave linguistic structures to
produce fluent discourse.
